Obsessions

I’ve become dangerously obsessive and it’s starting to cause pain

Not on others, boy I wish, but I’m all theres to blame

It’s tearing me up, my mind is rot, it’s not aesthetically pleasing 

For certain obsessions only inspire devilish laughs and teasing

If only it was classic symbols my mind hungrily wants

Looking glasses, chess and clocks, all Alice’s old haunts 

But nothing’s poetic about television , falsities and actors

The hypnotic items you dearly cling are only grave detractors

They draw you from central virus, the depended burning fire

It doesn’t matter of which you do obsess
All are maddened by desire
